Here is my old Sistema...

[douglas_knott]

Well I have this old pistol. Numbers all match and I love it. It shoots great too. I don't know much about it but I wish I knew the story of what it may or may not have been through.

cool!! I've never heard of a sistema before, did Colt make it for Argentina?

Very nice las!!

I bought one many years back from a buddies sporting goods shop, paid $150.00 for it but sold it a couple of years later. I have a picture of it in my records but it did not photograph too well from the picture. The serial number on it is 73735 and mine did not have any import marks on it.

I should have bought a few at that price, even back then!!!

That table and bench is full of some mighty fine shootin' irons.
